Re: Any tips for better success? pH meter

o if you want to continue drinking distilled water with adequate "buffers" you may need to sprinkle some magnesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate to stabilize the distilled water.

People who sell distilled water do not tell people this fact. Distilled water absorbs a great deal of CO2 to form what is known as carbonic acid. And their pH is around 5.5 which is by the way similar to average unhealthy urine. The reason for unhealthy urine is not the distilled water per se, but this problem exists what is known in biochemistry (back door people) as "bicarbonate deficiency".

This is incorrect and a common assumption ! Distilled water has no buffers so the most minute amount of co2 will throw the reading off and show a false acid reading ,when in actuality there is no harmful amounts of any acid in distilled water!
The quality of distilled water is measured by a conductivity meter not pH stix or meters!
